Just completed a 1500km trip across France & Spain using AndroidAuto + #CoMaps instead of GMaps. Except for the search engine that is less complete than Google Maps, the guiding was top notch!! One step closer to fully #degoogle my life! Great work #OrganicMaps #CoMaps devs https://www.comaps.app

After the fake ICSR conference, I've just heard about WASET launching a new predatory fake HRI conference. Be careful not to fall for it! (not putting the link here to avoid making publicity, but yoy'll find them easily enough)

Pre-print out! Our proposal for 'Social Embeddings': vectors to represent social situations in a compact, ML-friendly way. This could pave the pave for more social awareness in eg social robots. https://doi.org/10.12688/openreseurope.17296.1

Tommaso Colombino, from Naverlabs: with service robots, "sometimes, the best #HRI is when there's no interaction" ie, the robot is smoothly doing what it was designed to do (eg fetching smthg) without causing a fuss along the way... Indeed!

Good talk by AJung Moon on roboethics. She concludes with the risk posed by robots relying more and more on siloed, subscription and cloud-based data processing. "You might own the hardware, but you never really own 'the robot'". An issue I deeply care about. We are pushing at @PALRobotics for openness through standards #ROS and 'cloud-free' robots. #HRI
